SAFETY
Gehl Company ALWAYS takes the operator’s safety
into consideration when designing its machinery, and
guards exposed moving parts for his/her protection.
However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in
order to assure proper operation. Further, this
Operator’s Manual, the Safety Manual (also available
in Spanish) and decals on the machine warn of addi-
tional hazards and should be read and observed close-
ly.
It is the responsibility of the operator to read and
understand the Operator’s Manual and other informa-
tion provided, and use correct operating procedures.
Machines should be operated only by qualified opera-
tors.
REMEMBER! It is the owner’s responsibility for com-
municating information on the safe use and proper
maintenance of this machine! This includes providing
understandable interpretation of these instructions for
operators who are not fluent in reading English.
